Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?
The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to "cut the middle man" and just plug/unplug my linux machine.
I guess I can use a remote desktop solution approach on my laptop, but I wonder if there is a more "extreme" solution. Mostly since I have only one Ethernet port in my home office.

Have a look at software KVMs, for a similar functionality.
Wouldn't a "software KVM" just be remote desktop?
No, a software or hardware KVM lets you use the same keyboard and mouse across multiple devices.
Check it this demo if you wish.
Synergy does the K and the M, but not the V.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
